This dilettante notion that the global economy is evil because big corporate leaders make too much money... they do make too much money, but the only way we've figured out how to generate wealth in this world is through the market economy.

War prosperity is like the prosperity that an earthquake or a plague brings.
For capitalism, war and peace are business and nothing but business.
